Rust!

[Brycey]

this makes me sad

drivers side front tower

passenger side front tower

passenger side again

drivers side - under the tower

rear passenger side

rear bumper support

im trying to do a complete overhaul of the stag at the moment, so does anyone know whats involved with fixing this? its not severe so could it be a matter of just picking out the seam sealer, rust converting then applying new seam sealer or is it more of a professional job?

jump on Ozdat, ask who to use for rust in your area... get it done right the first time!

My car is or was exactly the same

When I did the front engine conversion, I repainted the engine bay. I picked out the seam sealer, treated the rust and replaced the seam sealer. you would never know.

I found the seam sealer was not applied correctly at the factory. They had not covered the seam totally, allowing moisture to get in and start rust. I found mine to be just surface rust.

I also had some spots behind the strut towers aswell. You may have to strip the abs unit and brake lines and repaint like I did.

I also have surface rust under rear aswell like yours. I have not attacked this yet. I would clean it up, treat any bad spots with converter and the rest hand brush on rust kill paint and then cover with under body sealant.

Also if you repaint your engine bay, DO NOT REMOVE the pink compliance sticker. If you do a big "VOID" appears when it delaminates and the car cannot be re-registered. Also Dotars will NOT reissue a new one. I phoned to check with them and that is what they said to me. I had to carefully mask it up and paint around it.
